No. Standard comments are just floating around with no clear relation
to the various elements in the page. Compare:
<img src="bluemoon.gif" />
<img src="greencheese.gif" comment="replace with better image when X delivers" />
<img src="blackbird.gif" comment="This image has been approved by the boss" />
<img src="whitesnow.gif" />
and
<img src="bluemoon.gif" />
<!-- replace with better image when X delivers -->
<img src="greencheese.gif" />
<!-- This image has been approved by the boss -->
<img src="blackbird.gif" />
<img src="whitesnow.gif" />
"This image"? Which image? How much clearer and more convenient with
comment attributes!
And then, in XHTML used as XML, applications can be made to _act_
upon the content of comment attributes!
